Notes

Only 1 specimen not 4 as per Liverpool's database. Specimen size a match for illustration in Thesaurus Conchyliorum but pattern slightly different. Shell has faded. 4 specimens are missing according to register and Tomlin's note. Marrat handwritten label ' Oliva Bahia Found in company with Marginella Bellangeri' Marrat handwritten label 'O. circinata 109 Marrat Bahia'. Tomlin label 'type + 4 others of O. circinata Marr. which = sayana Ravenel' Ford 1953 first mention of Holotype. Four specimens were evidently removed from this lot by Tomlin - see lot given registration number 423B. I think this specimen is the figured one, based on the pattern near the suture. This has been called a holotype but is actually a lectotype designated by Ford (Note added by BR June 2018).
